For many years I have had the privilege to share my message on Staging with over a million real estate professionals, Stagers, and entrepreneurs wanting to become a successful Home Stager. It has indeed been gratifying to teach Staging in classrooms, at conferences and conventions, through countless articles and television interviews and, most recently, through webinar.

Often I’m asked what drives me and today I thought I would share an example of something that truly makes me thankful: hearing the appreciation from those who have attended my presentations and our classes, and learning about the success of the many who over the years have become Accredited Staging Professionals® and those who have taken their commitment to their Staging careers even further to achieve the Accredited Staging Professional® Master Designation.

A few days ago I received the following message:

Hi Barb,

Teresa has been very busy implementing your techniques and teachings into our business through new and existing listings. Our clients have been amazed. ..

I highly recommend and endorse the Barb Schwarz class for ASP®, Accredited Staging Professionals®. I found myself in class for clock hours with my business partner and wife, Teresa. Teresa was more interested in obtaining the Staging skills and knowledge. However, I quickly realized how essential and important Staging is for our business. After taking classes for 15 years and enjoying the blessings and good fortune of a successful productive business, this is one of the best courses I have taken to date. Besides the great staging knowledge, we learned great new listing tools, skills, and dialog. This is truly a class for the new and well seasoned Realtor. Thank you Barb!

To hear such words from a seasoned and experienced Realtor is worth so much to me. All along it was my goal to provide the asset that Staging really is to real estate professionals, to help them achieve success in their businesses, and hearing from Eric warms my heart.

Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and I am indeed thankful. Thankful for having so many dedicated professionals in my life and for the kind words I receive from those who have attended my presentations and our classes, and from those who simply have learned about Staging through the many media channels through which I’m glad to share our Staging message.

I wish you a peaceful and joyous Thanksgiving Holiday with family and friends.

Barb
